🎉Exciting, exciting update!! 🗓️Doulado has officially launched our first phase of an integrated Calendar!!! This has been long awaited by our users, and we appreciate your patience as we grow this feature and really help streamline your business. Here are some of the highlights of our new features within Doulado:

#1 Integrated Calendar:

• Internal Booking: With this new calendar feature within Doulado, you can book appointments, meetings, and shifts internally. The calendar allows for a meeting name, attaching a client and provider, time, location, and description.
• Notifications: There are a couple of notification choices including ability to notify the client when the appointment is booked, send them a reminder 1 day prior to event, and also if there are any changes made to the appointment!
• Team Use: You can now assign every doula on your team an individual color! When booking appointments in the calendar, the client's name shows on the calendar booking, and the color of the event coordinates with the provider (Doula) it is linked to!

#2 On- Call Calendar

• View On-Call Windows: It is now much easier to view your personal on call-windows for current clients, as well as view the windows for multiple team members all in one location!
• Automatically Added: Every client with an "Due Date" added into their profile will show up on your on-call windows. The gray bubbles on the same line as your name is all of the timeframes, and how they overlap. If you open the tab, it will then show each one individually with an automatic time frame of 38-42 weeks according to their "Due Date".

• Customizable Time Frame: You can edit that 4 week window for individual clients if needed! Sometimes things come up in the pregnancy, and they are expected to deliver earlier. You can click on the 4 week bubble, and the change the start and/or end date to adjust to the new delivery window. Once the window is edited, it will have an orange outline around it to show that it has been changed from the standard "on-call window".

#3 Lead Form Payments!

• Payment Button: We have also added an option to add a payment button into a lead form to accept a registration fee, or have a client pay for a class directly when they first submit their information!

What's Next?

• More Calendar Features: Ability for clients to schedule their own appointments within your availability, linking to Google Calendar, more notification options, and more!
• Client Visit Log: A section in their client portal to view upcoming appointments, and message their provider if needed to make any adjustments.
• Invoice Updates: We are going to make it easy to add a discount, date for the service and have the ability to send the invoice to another contact on the profile, besides the client!
